About Us

Our Josef-Schwarz-Schule is located across two distinctive campuses: close to nature in Erlenbach and centrally situated in Heilbronn. Both campuses share not only a bilingual educational concept, state-of-the-art facilities and modern architecture, but also the vibrant intercultural spirit of an international school community. Through close collaboration within our interdisciplinary team, we foster a warm, respectful and family-oriented campus culture. We create an inspiring learning and living environment in which students are supported academically, socially and personally — from Reception through to the Baden-Württemberg Abitur.
